Weird Job: Camp leader

Jeff Bezos with his former girlfriend, Ursula Werner, created his own first job. They launched an educational summer camp for 4^th, 5^th and 6^th graders called Dream Institute. It was a ten day course that taught everything from how electric currents work to Gulliver’s Travels.

After graduating from Princeton, he worked several jobs before he finally decided to start his own venture, Amazon.com, in 1994. He is particularly known for his attention to detail and his micromanaging character.

Word is he always wants to know what goes on in his business from contract minutiae to how he is quoted in Amazon press releases.
